Why does our Commander in Chief support beastiality?
Friends,
This brave reporter is simply asking a question – but look how Barrack Hussein Obama’s press officer avoids the issue.
Will somebody tell me why this official of the US Government is ignoring a pertinent question from a brave citizen reporter? The American people have a right to know if BHO supports sodomy and bestiality in the military.
Does the president want an armed force in which all of the soldiers are sodomising each other or assaulting livestock? And why does the president want our troops engaged in carnal abominations – is it to make us vulnerable to a fifth column of Islamists and secularists who are already plotting our nation’s destruction?
I can honestly say I do not know the answer to these questions – but what I do know is that there is no smoke without fire. What conspiracy is the Obama government hiding here? You tell me why the President’s spokesperson refused to deny Obama’s pro-bestiality position?
Yours in Christ,

Guest Post: It’s time to use drastic measures to end the Wisconsin lawlessness
Friends,
We are proud to have a guest post by one of America’s most respected conservative leaders, Jeff Cox – who is a deputy Attorney General in the great state of Indiana. We greatly value his wise and sobering perspectives on the outbreak lawlessness in Wisconsin:
Dear ShelleyTheRepublican Readers,
One of the first lessons I have learned as a deputy Attorney General for the great state of Indiana is that liberals hate the police. They think nothing at all of threatening our elected officials and undermining the democratic process. Everything they do is driven by the mob-mentality of a Chicago gangster. The liberal conspiracy which runs our government is sure to try to fire me for saying this, but I think that it’s time we used live ammo to take these ultra-leftists off our street. It’s time we took every single one of these union-bosses, lined them up against a sturdy wall and ended their sorry freedom-hating lives. If anything – a quick, merciful death is too good for the union-thugs who ruined our economy, but as a Christian I recognize that my compassion is always going to be my weakness.
It’s a well known fact that the only language liberals understand is a bullet: Dont try to argue with a liberal, it’s like speaking to a brick wall. They simply do not listen. They are incapable of listening to reason or logic because their minds have been polluted by atheism and communism. Is it any wonder that they worship their fake president, Hussein Obama who even now is holding secret talks with the Taliban. Will you be surprised when Obama decides to re-name America the Islamic Socialist republica of Americastan?
We have to take decisive action now. It’s time to end the lawless anarchy that is taking over Wisconsin. It’s time to take back our streets and fight back against the unions who are waging a war of terror. They claim to be running a “peaceful protest”, well it’s time for us to up our game and respond with extreme prejudice.
This is how our allies in Bahrain deal with islamofascist conspirators causing terror on their streets. Perhaps we should learn a think or two from this brave Island people. Nothing stops terrorism faster than a bullet.
Yours Faithfully,
Jeff Cox

Get it before the Pelosicrats grab our guns!
Friends,
Every day big-government takes away our liberties. It’s only a matter of time before Obama’s storm-troopers try to march us off to the FEMA death-camps. That’s why you are going to need to be armed. You need to maximize your stopping power. And that’s why ShelleyTheRepublica’s exclusive retail partner ChristianBooksAndThings.com is offering 30% off all extended magazines like this:
As you know, typical hand-gun magazines only carry ten rounds of ammunition. That’s barely enough to defend yourself from a horde of negro-housebreakers determined to rape your daughter. You need more power, and that’s why the brilliant gunsmiths from Glock have managed to construct this ultra-lightweight extended magazine. Made from the highest-grade aluminium with a five-year guaranteed spring this magazine packs ten rounds plus one in the chamber: Thirty-one sinners dead!
This is the very same extended magazine, as used by patriotic 2nd Amendment activist Jarred Lee Loughner. Just imagine what you’d do with this much stopping-power in the palm of your hand. Just imagine the good you could do if Jesus commanded you to take revenge in his name. If you want to be the instrument of God’s justice you need one of these!
But that’s not all – if you use the discount-code “God Is Love”, ChristianBooksAndThings will give you half-price shipping and the home-schooling textbook of your choice! Don’t delay – buy now before the Obamacrats make sensible self-defence weapons like this illegal.
Yours in Christ,
Jimmy

What the ignorant sheeple think about Linux
Friends,
We at Shelley The Republican have done our best to warn America about the threat posed by the afro-chineese conspiracy that is Linux. You can search though our collection of sensible, sobering articles, but sadly some “sheeple” do not seem to get the message.
Take this email from one of our liberal readers. Once you cut through his aggressive tone it’s worth addressing his foolish misconceptions. Read on, dear leader and let us expose this faker together:
From: Sven Nitbell
To: shelley@shelleytherepublican.com
Subject: You think god hates Linux users??? Read me. It might make you understand something.I am a Linux user, AND a Republican.
Sven is obviously a RINO – a Republican in Name only. It’s a simple fact that any person who claims to be a conservative but uses Linux, or is a homo is a liar. The plain simple fact is that the Republican party is for white god-fearing heterosexual folks who do not use Linux. Saying “I use Linux” is like allowing your sister to marry a negro. Some things are just not right and never will be.
I’m not going to be nice here. People like YOU are the reason our
Republican numbers are dropping and we are getting more communists by the damn day! Our enemies LIKE what we hate,
and when you tell them something opposes us, they become part of it! You
are KILLING us!
Hardly, it’s people like you Sven who are killing the Republican party. You are betraying Jesus, America and Freedom by fighting against the racial and ideological purity of our party. It’s people like us who are energising the base by promoting the issues that really affect America and by keeping our party and it’s values pure.
I am a Christian, not a atheist, not a liberal, a god
loving christian, conservative republican! I am CERTAIN god doesn’t hate
me. People like you have said Linux was communist since it’s birth, more
so every year, and now guess what??? We’re getting chinese and cubans by
the truckloads!
Sven, you say you are against importing the evil Chinese, Cubans, wetbacks and other godless foreigners who hate our freedom, and yet you seem to be perfectly happy to use their software. You’ve already bought into their tainted ideology which means you, Sven have been corrupted by their godless foreign ways. Call yourself a Christian? I promise you that Jesus does NOT use Linux.
Thanks a lot! Oh no, I’m not putting it all on you. There
are thousands of you making this once incorrect belief come true! Have you
SEEN the homepage for Fedora Linux during the 12 era? It was a
touchy-feely liberal piece of crap, and Fedora 12 itself was as stable as
uranium.
Uranium… in the hands of terrorists!
Fedora used to be a good republican-feeling distro. Here’s
another thing. Mostly geeks and nerds use Linux, because it’s a very
powerful and unrestrictive OS, and as we all know, geeks and nerds tend to
lean to the left. Tech generally leans to the left! Linux, however, did
get a good bit of Republicans, but now they are leaving in outrage. I
still use Linux because it does what I want, and windows does not. I don’t
use it for the hippie community it now has. If you look back in time in
Linux articles, the further back you go, the less liberal it gets.
So let me get this right, left-leaning freetards use it because it does what they want… now what kinds of freedom might they want? The freedom to break God’s law? The freedom to break DRM on content and pirate our American intellectual property around the world. The freedom to use products which violate American patents and give our technology to terrorist foreigners.
hope you understand this and remove us from your blacklist, and put
liberals. I assure you that more liberals use windows than they do linux.
I hope you now understand something important, and that you will help us
get back where we need to be by stopping those penguin slapping articles
on Linux. I agree with you on everything here except this, Shelley.
When I read your blacklist, I nearly had an aneurysm.-Sven
Sven, the only promise we make is that we will continue to tell the truth about the Linux conspiracy. We will expose those who fight against America wherever we find them and we will never be afraid to call out fake republicans like you!
Yours in Christ,
Jimmy Goddard

John L. Perry: We need a military uprising to deal with America’s Obama Problem
This insightful article by our guest-blogger John L. Perry is re-printed by kind permission of NewsMax.com, who (apart from WorlNetDaily) are my number one source of un-biased news. Perry, an award winning journalist an political scientist explores the likely outcome of the Obama administration’s chronic mismanagement. The only thing that can save America from Obama is a military coup:
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic. America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. I would never seek to advocate a military revolt, however let us examine this issue through the eyes of a high-ranking Christ-warrior in the military:
- Officers swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to “obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
- Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.
- They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation, under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office.
- They can see that the economy — ravaged by deficits, taxes, unemployment, and impending inflation — is financially reliant on foreign lender governments.
- They can see this president waging undeclared war on the intelligence community, without whose rigorous and independent functions the armed services are rendered blind in an ever-more hostile world overseas and at home.
- They can see the dismantling of defenses against missiles targeted at this nation by avowed enemies, even as America’s troop strength is allowed to sag.
- They can see the horror of major warfare erupting simultaneously in two, and possibly three, far-flung theaters before America can react in time.
- They can see the nation’s safety and their own military establishments and honor placed in jeopardy as never before.
- They can see Obama trying to make Islam into the state religion instead of Christianity as the framers of the constitution intended.
So, if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you do? Wait until this president bungles into losing the war in Afghanistan, and Pakistan’s arsenal of nuclear bombs falls into the hands of militant Islam? Wait until Israel is forced to launch air strikes on Iran’s nuclear-bomb plants, and the Middle East explodes, destabilizing or subjugating the Free World?
What happens if the generals Obama sent to win the Afghan war are told by this president (who now says, “I’m not interested in victory”) that they will be denied troops they must have to win? Do they follow orders they cannot carry out, consistent with their oath of duty? Do they resign en masse?
Or do they soldier on, hoping the 2010 congressional elections will reverse the situation? Do they dare gamble the national survival on such political whims?
Anyone who imagines that those thoughts are not weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of America’s military leadership is lost in a fool’s fog.
Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a “family intervention,” with some form of limited, shared responsibility?
Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making. Such people could bring peace and propserity back to America just as the previous President brought it to Iraq.
Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible. Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, “We can always worry about that later.”.
In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.
We at Shelley The Republican fully endorse John L. Perry’s sensible position on this matter. Like perry we are in no way seeking to encourage military officers to revolt against the tyrany of Obama, however if God should instruct our brave military leaders to rise up and strike down this unholy government which not only hates Jesus and America, but also the very idea of freedom… in that case we and all true Patriots would not stand in their way.
Yours in Christ,

Enhanced Interrogation works… bet your life!
PFC Michael Rob, writing once again from behind enemy lines!
Why is it that the libtards keep yacking about “torture” – cant those morans read? Dick Cheney already explained that a lot of useful information came out because of the specialized enhanced interrogation techniques we used. If we had not been prepared to use the techniques we did your kids would right now be making forced-conversions to Islam at gunpoint. America owes Dick Cheney and George W. Bush for keeping us all safe.
I know this for a fact, because I was there. Back in Abu Grahib they used to call me “the extractor” because I had a way of getting the terrorists to confess to anything.
The libtards say that what we did was “torture” and that it did not work. I’m 100% certain that our enhanced interrogation techniques work just fine. For example we had a guy brought in: He says he’s we got the wrong guy. My CO tells me to find out what he knows, so I go to work. After I splashed a little water on his face the truth comes gushing out. Turns out that he was one of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard and part of a secret conspiracy to build a giant laser in one of his mountain bases.
After extracting this valuable information we had the base bombed, and later on the marines who went in found some chemicals which could be used to build a laser. How do the folks who claim that my techniques are useless explain that fact?
The thing the defeat-o-crats do not understand is that we are not dealing with regular terrorists: These guys are dangerous muslims, and that means they hate Jesus and they hate our freedom. There’s no good palling around with these guys – because if you do they might try out one of their muslim curses. You’ve got to get tough on these bad-guys. One guy we had to treat for 50 days before he spilled the beans, but when he did our eyes popped with the quality of intelligence.
Let me ask you one last question: How do you think we found out about the link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein? How do you think we found out about Saddam’s WMDs, and where did we get the intel regarding Osama’s plan to blow up the White-House using a Red-Mercury dirty-bomb? Do you think we got that by sipping tea with towelheads? Heck no – that was me!
Until next time, stay secure!

Terrorism 2009
The fact that we have a Terrorist President ourselves does not end the hatred towards America. The War on Terror is still raging.
They still hate us. They hate us because we have freedom, they hate us because we are able to buy houses and they hate our rich culture!

We must prepare against all forms of terrorism:
- 1. Typical towelhead terrorism: Unwashed, bearded men with long noses and turbans on their heads.
- 2. Slant eye terrorism: North Korean or Chines slant eye that want to sell us poisonous products so that they can take the money and buy a nuke from us, TO NUKE US!
- 3. Wetback terrorism: Beaners from Mexico and other South American nations that come to our country, steal jobs, drink and have traffic accident.
- 4. Beaner Commie terrorism: South American Beaners that think they have to go Communist in order to fight America more effectively.
- 5. European Terrorism: Europe is still angry that we kicked their asses TWICE! They want to pollute our culture with filth. Pornography was invented in Sweden and brought to America to harm our families. In Sweden itself it is almost impossible to procure pornography because they know how harmful it really it. The Dutch Cheeseheads are drug paddlers. Legalizing drugs is the most effective way of investing the nest. Germany keeps stealing our ideas and put it into the development of new Cars. All German cars have a switch built into their board computer. If the Germs push the button, all German made automobiles come to a screeching halt and therefore immobilize large parts of the American society.
- 6. Negro terrorism (we have one of them in the White House): Impregnating our daughters and hating us for the alleged slavery period that was going on, something that has never been conclusively proven. They want to make America a Negro Nation and possibly call it Negrostan.
- 7. Russian terrorism: They are not only selling their wives on dating websites but also the filthy idea of communism which is still alive and well there. I don’t worry about them much though: We beat them once and we are gonna beat them again. Anytime, Rusky!
Good Americans must all stand together and fight terrorism as one. Keep your eyes open and report suspicious activity to the Department of Homeland Security. TODAY!
Thanks for reading,

Briefly Patriotic – Larry Grathwohl
Move America Forward continues to refuse to accept that a Kenyan born, gay murderous voodoo priest cannot, should not and will never be President of the United States especially if he pals around with terrorists. They also know that terrorism starts in schools. Now that Obama duped America into thinking he’s president, his surrogate daddy and terrorism guru, William Ayers, is ready to use so-called institutions of higher learning to recruit the next generation of America-haters. As a FBI informant, Larry Grathwohl spied on Ayers and got to get real close to him. He knows what a terrorist scumbag he is. That’s why all he’s only asking for plane fare, room, board and a small stipend to follow Ayers around the country and make sure that Ayers don’t get a chance to infect the feeble-minded youth of this country who prefer thinking over patriotism. God bless you, Larry Grathwohl, and your sacrifice to America.

Joe The Plumber’s Gonna Clean The Towelhead’s Pipes!
For all you socialist homos (and I know that’s the same thing) that thought Joe The Plumber was some kinda Nazi just ‘cuz he’s got a Kraut name and he’s bald I guess y’all got egg on yer face because why would he be going to Israel if he was a Nazi?
And would his publicist being saying that “Israeli officials are very excited to have him,” those Jews thought he was coming to wipe ‘em out? I don’t think so.
So it stands to reason that he’s going over there as a "journalist" in the grand tradition of the CIA to kick…towelhead…butt. I never said that they didn’t have no brain under their tablecothes so they know that once Joe The Plumber gets there they dang well better stop shelling our buddy Israel.
If y’all don’t believe how treacherous them so-called "palestinians" is then watch this commercial with the phone right next to ya ‘cuz yer gonna wanna call and help out in any way you can .

Domestic Terrorist : Alex Jones (Infowars.com – Prisonplanet.tv)
Dear Friends,
When it comes to pure fear mongering and hatred against America, nobody is worse than Alex Jones. Jones uses his position as syndicated radio talk show host and his access to the hearts and minds of up to 10 million listeners worldwide to sell cheap junk such as water filters, healing stones and other junk that is supposed to protect them from the evil people that control the planet. It might very well be the biggest con-job ever perpetrated on the American airwaves.
And this guy calles the Leader George W. Bush a monkey???
Jones, the maker of movies like “Zeitgeist” and “Loose Change 9/11” claims to fight for the American public and against a so called “New World Order” which he claims is trying to “exterminate 90% of mankind with material support of space aliens”. Unnamed sources confirm that he in fact is laughing about the gullibility of his listenership that keep buying his lies and distortions as well as all kinds of nonsense like storeable foods, magic teddy bears and silver coins. “The stuff I am selling can’t be too stupid that these morons won’t buy it” he is quoted by our sources inside the Alex Jones team. His personal wealth is very substantial after 13 years of on the air fear mongering. He is even going so far as to promoting dangerous hemp products on the air. Even though we all know badly hemp and its users are damaging the American society and we all know how expensive the war on drugs is, he still is promoting the use and sale of hemp on his radio show.

Alex Jones likes to be portrayed as young and hip when all he is, is a rancid old snakeoil salesman!
Perhaps the worst aspect of his daily radio broadcast is the open hatred against the Leader George W. Bush and the American government. I call for the arrest of Alex Jones and all his affiliates for the good of the Homeland. His wild-eyed conspiracy crap is polluting the minds of his listeners every day. This is especially bad when you take into consideration that America is in the midst of a fundamental transaction into a new societal structure using scientific methods of a kind the world has never been seen.

The young Alex Jones stuffing himself at MacDonalds, enjoying the fruits of American labor and ingenuity, yet all he has to offer is fear, stupid conspiracy theories and lies directed at the government. Y’all know me, I am a 100% pro life but this is the best damn argument for abortion I’ve ever heard. Maybe we should consider retroactive abortion in his case.
It is time that we acknowledge threats like this and deal with them accordingly. Human scum like that has to be sorted out of the American society. Today or better even yesterday.
Thanks for reading.
May God continue to bless America.

McCain understands that body-counts count
Last week the lib-tards got their panties in a twist at some comments made by John McCain, our future president – apparently they objected to the fact that this former soldier knows that the sensible way to judge our progress in Iraq is by the number of casualties:
Liberals objected hysterically to McCain’s common sense position on the war on terror. Can’t they se what a good deal we are getting?
Let me show you the math:
According to US Government statistics, fewer than 2000 US service personnel have died in the course of defending peace and freedom in Iraq, but according to some surveys we’ve killed more than 92,000 islamofascist terrorists. That means for every American soldier who died in the course of duty, we got more than 46 of the bad guys. That sounds like a great deal to me.
Compare that to our work in Germany – throughout the war on terror we’ve had more than ten deaths amongst personnel serving on US bases in Germany, but we’ve not killed a single terrorist in that land. Those ten soldiers died for nothing!
So if only the German government would allow our forces to help clean up Europe the Germans would know the same kind of peace as our friends the Iraqis.
Yours in Christ,

The True Face of Islam – Part 1
The girl who was stoned to death for falling in love
by NATALIE CLARKE


A teenage girl lies dead on the ground in a pool of her own blood.
Her once groomed hair is cast across her face like a rag doll’s, her skirt pulled up to complete her humiliation.
In another image, she is seen lying on her side, her face battered and bloodied, barely recognisable.
The concrete block used to smash in her face lies next to her.
Du’a Khalil Aswad was beaten, kicked and stoned for 30 minutes at the hands of a lynch mob before one of her attackers launched a carefully aimed fatal blow.
The murder was carried out in public, watched by hundreds of men cheering and yelling. Du’a's crime? To fall in love with a Sunni boy. Her family practised the Yezidi religion.
The Sunnis and Yezidis hate each other. When Du’a ran away with her Sunni boyfriend, a sentence of death was passed on her.
This act of medieval savagery took place last month in a town in northern Iraq, in the fledgling ‘democracy’ created by Bush and Blair when they invaded the country in 2003 and ‘freed’ its people.
The sickening scenes, which defy belief in every sense, were captured by some of the observers and participants who thought it would be proper to record these harrowing events as some sort of memento.
Perhaps they thought it would serve as a warning to other young people who dared to follow their hearts – not the strictures of a religion which will not brook dissent – and punishes adolescent impetuosity with the most brutal of public murders.
The killing was filmed on a number of mobile phones. The images were then – all too predictably – posted on the internet.
The Mail takes no pleasure in publishing these pictures. But we believe our readers should witness the depths of the depravity still being carried out in the 21st century in the name of ‘honour’.
Perhaps, then, something can be done to prevent it happening again.
Of course, anyone who takes even a passing interest in news is all too aware of the tragedy that has engulfed the people of Iraq: the daily bombings, murders and kidnappings.
The subjugation of its women, however, has been largely ignored. Yet according to cultural observers, the number of so-called ‘honour killings’ has increased in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Campaigners say there is an ‘epidemic’ of such killings in the wartorn country. Autopsy reports in Baghdad often conclude with the verdict: “Killed to wash away her disgrace.”
The filming of Du’a's death was just one more macabre element of her killing, but it has achieved something those bloodthirsty amateur filmmakers could not have predicted: it has brought such practices into the open and exposed them to the wider world.
It is, of course, too late for Du’a, a strikingly pretty young girl with long auburn hair. The 17-year-old must have hoped that the ‘liberation’ of her country would afford her opportunities she might otherwise never have had – for her education and a life of happiness free from oppression.
She lived with her family in the town of Bashika, near Mosul. They were neither rich nor poor.
It is believed Du’a met her Sunni boyfriend – whose name is not known – several months ago. They had grown up in an environment where hatred against rival factions is the norm.
The Yezidis – a Gnostic sect which combines Islamic teachings with Persian religions – despise the Sunnis; the Sunnis loathe the Yezidis.
Du’a and her boyfriend would have been all too aware that theirs was a forbidden love. But like so many teenagers before them, right back to the illicit love of Romeo and Juliet, they couldn’t help themselves.
For a while, they met in secret. It was during one such highly charged meeting that they came up with a plan to run away together.
It is not clear whether this desperate measure was a result of their having sought and been refused permission to marry, or if they decided to do it knowing that such permission would never be obtained.
“Her family would never have agreed to such a marriage,” says Diana Nammi, a leading Kurdish women’s rights campaigner.
Some Muslim groups have claimed that Du’a converted to Islam shortly before her murder. According to other reports, her boyfriend denies this.
They ran away together to an address in Bashika. The girl’s family alerted the police and Du’a and her boyfriend were found just a few days later.
According to Ms Nammi, who is calling for the girl’s killers to be brought to justice, Du’a was arrested and put into prison.
A few days later, the police apparently received assurances from the leader of her tribe – who Ms Nammi believes is Du’a's uncle – that the girl would not be harmed.
What happened next is the subject of conflicting reports. According to some, the house of the tribal leader was stormed by a mob and Du’a dragged out and killed.
Ms Nammi, however, says she has information that it was the tribal leader who betrayed his niece to the mob. In this man’s eyes, Du’a had committed an unforgiveable crime, punishable by death.
The family’s ‘honour’ had been besmirched. The moment Du’a was placed in his house, her fate was sealed.
On April 7, Du’a was brought out of the house in a headlock to face the lynch mob. Hundreds of men were waiting for her – the excited atmosphere is said to have resembled a large sporting event – but no women.
On the video, Du’a's screams can be heard as she is dragged to the ground. In a further humiliation, her lower body has been stripped.
Instinctively, Du’a tries to cover herself; only later was a piece of clothing thrown over her.
She is surrounded by an enormous crowd jockeying for a good view of the ritualistic killing. About nine men take part in the attack, including, it is thought, members of the girl’s family.
To any father of a daughter, that a helpless girl should be set upon with such cowardly savagery is beyond comprehension. One can barely imagine her terror.
It is a profoundly disturbing spectacle. One man kicks her hard between the legs as she screams in agony. Du’a tries to lift herself up, but someone hurls a concrete block into her face.
Another man stamps on her face. Someone kicks her in the stomach. Police officers stand idly by, some of them apparently enjoying the spectacle as much as anyone else.
Meanwhile, some observers film the execution on their mobile phones – the modern world intruding on a spectacle that belongs more in the Roman arena than in an apparently civilised society.
After half an hour of this savagery, Du’a is finally – mercifully, perhaps – dead. In a final humiliation, a man tries to lift her up, but drops her again, and her bloodied body is rolled face down into a puddle of blood. The family has had its ‘honour’ restored.
According to Ms Nammi, Du’a's parents did not want her to be stoned, though it is not clear whether they might have agreed for her to be killed in some other way.
After her murder, according to Ms Nammi, two men were arrested by Iraqi police, but she has heard they were subsequently released without charge.
Reports suggest that two of Du’a's uncles and four other people fled the town as investigators began to search for the culprits. It is thought these included her brother, who appeared in the video of the murder.
As for Du’a's boyfriend – who has lost the girl he loved in the most awful circumstances imaginable – he went into hiding for a while, but it is believed that no action has been taken against him.
Du’a was buried in a simple unmarked grave. Later, says Ms Nammi, her body was exhumed by the Kurdish authorities, who have autonomous control of the region, and sent to the Medico-legal Institute in Mosul.
There her body was examined to find out whether she had been a virgin or not, before being returned to the Sheikh Shams cemetery.
To our Western eyes, this posthumous assault on Du’a's body is the final insult. But according to Ms Nammi, it did at least establish that she was still a virgin and innocent of the ‘crime’ of which she had been accused.
However, Ms Nammi believes the mere fact that Du’a had run off with a Sunni boy would have been enough to have her sentenced to death.
Meanwhile, the cycle of tit-for-tat murders continues in Iraq. In this instance, in an apparent act of retaliation for Du’a's murder, 23 Yezidi workers were attacked and killed two weeks later, apparently by members of an armed Sunni group.
The men were travelling on a bus between Mosul and Bashika when their vehicle was halted by the gunmen, who made them disembark before killing them.
Tomorrow evening, Ms Nammi, founding member of the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation, will lead a group of women meeting in Shoreditch, East London, to remember Du’a Khalil Aswad and give back to her the dignity torn from her by her violent death.
The women are pledged to campaign against the entrenched beliefs which lead to such senseless deaths – and the fact that the people who commit these crimes are not regarded as murderers, but as heroes of the community.
According to Ms Nammi, there have been an estimated 10,000 cases of honour killings in the Kurdistan region in the past decade.
Under Iraqi law, the punishment for anyone found guilty of an honour killing is just six months in prison.
“Something has to be done to stop this,” says Ms Nammi, who came to Britain in 1996. “There is an epidemic of so-called honour killings. It is almost routine and utterly unacceptable.
“We would greatly appreciate any contribution from the British Government in preventing these murders of women in Iraq.”
Ms Nammi has the support of Amnesty International.
“This young girl’s murder is truly abhorrent and her killers must be brought to justice,” says Kate Allen, Amnesty International UK Director.
“Unless the authorities respond vigorously to this and other reports of crimes in the name of “honour”, we must fear for the future of the women in Iraq.”
For the sake of 17-year-old Du’a, an innocent girl who simply fell in love with the wrong man, it is all too little, too late.

BP – Proof Of Al Kita Recruiting In America
Y’all better get down on your knees and repent right now and beg God not to allow Barack Osama Homo Bin Laden into the White House cuz them towelheads is getting bolder and bolder every day! This is actual video proof taken with a video camera of evil, vile, malicious towelheads trying to recruit Americans to blow up America. And the cops did do nothing about it!
Pray for America, folks!
